My Best Friend’s Link Dump

Haunted Dollhouse – I posted about The Bloggess’ haunted dollhouse project a while back. She recently uploaded a bunch of more-detailed photos, and they are just gorgeous.

Buffy the Riveter – Sadly I missed the shirt when it was up on Teefury, but there are prints available here.

Pair’em Scare’em – Cute nail polish duo from OPI. They also have a collection of Spookette minis.

Mexican Skeletons Clutch – Pretty vinyl clutch with a sugar-skull detail. Something similar might be DIY-able.

10 Creepy, Sexy Fairy Tales That Should be Films – I agree with io9 that Snow White doesn’t need another retelling.

12 Craziest Eyeshadows – Several of these aren’t really eyeshadows, but the “Nightmare Before Christmas” makeup and the “zippers” are both worth a look.

Yep – Bwahahahaha.

Spooky Places – Google Map of strange and scary places to visit. The owner welcomes collaboration.

creepygirl – This is nothing more than one of those lifelike Japanese androids, and it does nothing more than follow your cursor around the screen, but DAMN it smacks you right in the Uncanny Valley.

Haunted Times – The magazine is re-launching and their “appetizer” issue is free online.

Naver – This Webcomic strip uses Javascript to unexpectedly animate some of the frames. It is unnerving as hell. Really. You have been warned. (Incidentally, I don’t think Naver is actually the name of the comic, but I don’t read Korean.)

Spooky “Specimens”

September 1st, 2011 by Cobwebs

BatsThis is simply brilliant.

Jen of Tatertots and Jello decided to take Ali Edwards’ lovely punch collages and make them a little darker. She used some Martha Stewart craft punches shaped like spiders and bats and some Halloween-themed paper to create a spooky (and completely humane) version of a butterfly collection.

She’s got a full tutorial with lots of photos and some great suggestions for doing this project on the cheap.

The article seems to suggest that she views these as seasonal decorations and only brings them out around Halloween, but that’s just crazy talk; these are attractive enough to leave up all year.
